"The Unsolicited"

Chapter: 14

"What do you mean?" I asked in hesitation.

"Nothing!" he smiled...

"But what made you so bold today?" he asked...

"I'm not at work so I didn't see any need to back off!" I  asserted...

"I see!" He sighed...

"But it's funny how you're worried about me!" he chuckled.

"Are those your friends?" he asked while gesturing for me to look back.

I looked back and saw Carol and Cindy standing at the door!
Their faces showed different types of expression which thankfully I could understand!

"You were taking long so...." Carol said...

"You should go now!" he said while leaning back on the couch.

I went to my friends, "Go, I'll be there in some time !" I said whispering...

"Is everything okay?" Cindy asked in a whisper.

We looked at Ian, he was looking at the ceiling.

"Yeah, Go!" I said and they went off!

"Why?" Ian asked when I approached him.

"First I'll ask Samuel sir to come here!"
I said looking at him while standing in front of him.

"And then?" he asked resting his arm on the top of the couch.

"I'll sit here until he comes!" I said sitting on the couch, on the right side of him.

He tilted his head to look at my face which I wanted to hide!

"You know what, you shouldn't be seen with me! Don't you think?" he said and I started shivering!

I didn't know what should I reply as he was talking about that post!

"You don't need to say anything !" he said while resting his head on the couch.

"I know it was hard on you!" he said in a soft tone.

"I'm sorry, It was my fault!" I said in a sad tone.

He looked at me, "How's everything turned out to be your fault !" he said in a serious tone.

"Come on Miss Amish, You are now a project manager at vermögen!" he added.

*What? I, What?*

I was looking at him with a very confused face!

"Don't tell me, you didn't sign the agreement yet!" he said frowning...

"I thought, maybe you don't want me to work there!" I said in a low tone.

"The world doesn't work the way you think!" he stated.

"The post was removed so I thought the company must have suffered, So...."

"We removed it for your sake! Don't worry about the company's reputation or mine as I can protect them, think of yours!" he sighed...

"It was causing damage to you this is why we removed it!" he continued...

*he protected mine too!*
I was happy at that moment!

"Submit the agreement tomorrow if you were turning it down because of that post!" he said smiling...

I realized the tears in my eyes, I wiped them off...
"Okay, Sir!" I said smiling!

"And Thank you so much!"

"Good, You can go now!" he said smiling...

*he's so fixated on sending me back!*

"Let me call sir Samuel!" I took out my phone and unlocked it!

He grabbed my arm, pulled it closer to him, and took my phone while giving me an intense stare!

My hands froze at the touch of his grip on my skin! And it felt like those hazel eyes of his were straight-looking inside my soul!

"What? Did you like it!" he said leaving my arm chuckling.

"No!"

"Then what's with that face?"

To justify myself I said the most inappropriate thing at that time!

"I can't feel that way!" I said like I was giving a statement!

"And why is that?" he chuckled.

"Because..."
*No Amish!*
"Because..."
*No Amish!*
"You're two years younger than me!" I said while showing two with my fingers.

He was about to say something but he stopped...

"Wh...a..t!" he scoffed...

*Yeah, Got you!*

"Is that your 'because'?" he burst out laughing...

*No, Don't laugh! Don't laugh!*

"What's so funny?"

"Your 'because'!" he was still laughing...

"I don't see any reason to laugh at that!" I grumped.

"Well...that's so hard to believe that someone like you still exists who cares about the age gap!" he said while dropping his laugh slowly...

"Well...It's matter to me!" I grunted again!

"So what am I having here, a big sister lecture on life?" He scoffed...

*sister?*

"Think what you want!" I said folding my arms.

"A grumpy big sister!" he continued...

"Fine!" I stood up. "Give my phone back!" I said in an angry tone.

"Don't use that tone!" he said smiling.

"I don't care that you're Ian Evans! I'm not at work so I don't see any need to hold back when I don't want to!" I said frowning in frustration.

"I said, don't use that tone!" he said dropping his smile.

"Don't tell me what to do, give me my phone back!"

"Fine!" he stood up.

"take it!" he said in an angry tone.

"Now, get lost!" he sounds like he will through me out if I don't move my butt outside!

*What did you do, Amish? There's no single emotion exists that you can control!*
*You made him angry!*

"Sorry!" I stammered!

"Shut up and go now!" he said pointing his finger at the door.

Tears welled up in my eyes...
"I won't go unless Samuel...."

"Cut this crap and Go!" He shouted very badly at me!

Thanks to the loud music, nobody outside heard him!

"I'm fine! if that's your concern! But you're no one to get involved in my life!" he said shouting...

My heart was beating fast and I got goosebumps listening to his tone!*

"Just get lost already!" his voice cracked...

"No, don't!" I immediately held his shoulder!

"Don't touch me!" he pushed me off.

*what's in his mind? What's making him so angry? His anger isn't on me! He's just taking it out all on me!*

"calm down and breathe!" I still grabbed his shoulder and started patting his back!

He was hardly breathing, I started crying while seeing him forcing his breath! His eyes turned red, he fell on the floor as he lost control of his body while I was trying to hold him for his smooth landing!

He was holding my arms with both of his hands with a tight grip!
"Go! Don't see me like this!" he said in a very low painful voice, looking at me with tears in his eyes.

"It's okay, Ian!" I gently wrapped my arms around him.

He closed his eyes!

"just breathe! Focus on breathing!" I said while gently rubbing his back.
